If the "allowance" A in the support vector classifier is set to exactly zero, then

* we use the definition of A as given in the slides (your textbook denotes it as C to increase the confusion). The parameter 'cost' of the svm() function (whatwedenoted as C) is inversely related to such A.

A ) only a few points will end up within the margin or on the wrong side of the fitted separating hyperplane

B ) the datapoints can end up within the margin of the fitted classifier, but never on the wrong side of the separating hyperplane

C) we get the maximal margin classifier: no point is allowed to be within the margin of the fitted classifier, let alone on the wrong side of the separating hyperplane

D) the classifier would not converge
